Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

After standing in the hospital as a punishment during the day, Mia found herself in the hospital that very same night. She didn't tell her parents about Molly's hospitalization.

Mia was propped up in her hospital bed when the doctor pressed on Mia's legs, asking, "What did you do today?"

Mia pursed her lips. "I overexerted myself, stood for too long."

In Molly's ward, Grandma Aubree of the Byrne family couldn't sleep. She loved to wander around.

The hospital was dim except for the emergency department. The elderly like Aubree were always attracted to where the light and people were. Recognizing Mia, Grandma Aubree, dressed in a floral gown and black lounge pants, asked, "Mia, what brings you to the hospital?"

Mia tensed up, glancing at her parents and then back at Grandma Aubree. "Grandma Aubree, I'm okay, just a bit of swelling in my legs."

The doctor, having already examined Mia, turned to Madison and said, "During late pregnancy, the fetus grows rapidly. While exercise is important, long periods of standing and sitting should be avoided. If you stand for too long, you may experience lower limb edema. This is her first time, so massaging her lower limbs at home will help. Make sure she gets plenty of rest, maintains a good sleep routine, and exercises moderately."

Worried, Madison agreed, "Doctor, I'm not sure how to massage her legs. Could you show me?"

The doctor demonstrated on Mia's leg, and Madison took note.

Grandma Aubree, who had been listening in, rushed back to share the news with Molly. With phone in hand, Molly was still awake.

"Molly, I just saw Mia at the hospital," Grandma Aubree shared.

"What? Why is she at the hospital?"

Armed with fresh information, Grandma Aubree told her granddaughter, "You know how Andre made Mia stand for a long time this afternoon? Just now, her legs were swollen. I heard it myself. That woman must be her mother. She is in her pajamas, learning how to massage from the doctor."
